Thank you for checking this out! My friends and I play a game in which someone gives a pairing and a setting to write for...and that's how all of this happened. :D I'm cross-posting here from AO3 and left some chapters out because they're a bit nsfw and short. If you'd like to see the entire work, please look me up on AO3 at plaidshirtjimkirk. Many thanks!

First up is a retail AU...in which Toshi works at a little ol' place named Victor's Secret.


.*Toshi's Secret*.

Toshi had heard the sales at Victor's Secret caused retail hell on earth, but no amount of words could do living through such an experience justice. It was chaos, plain and simple—long lines, frustrated customers, an off-handed jock strap flung through the air every so often, and a whole lot of shouting.

He'd been done before even arriving for this shift...but it wasn't until the moment Toshi's eyes landed on a certain individual waiting to check out when he wished most of all that he could disappear.

"...Next," he called out warily, avoiding his eyes.

"Hello..." Isami squinted and leaned over to purposefully read his nametag out loud, "Toshi."

"Welcome to Victor's Secret," Toshi droned and immediately took the mesh bag filled with all kinds of sexy underwear. He paused, his brows drawing in momentarily, before starting to arrange the garments. A garter belt. Cheeky briefs, one purple and one gold. Lacy...

A hand pressed to his to stop his sorting.

"I was wondering..." Isami began as Toshi drew his elbow back. He glared with annoyance while Isami lifted two thongs.

"Don't," Toshi snapped.

"What is your opinion on these?" Isami asked anyway. "I'm thinking of buying a pair for my boyfriend, but I'm not sure if I should get the lace—" He held up the thong in his right hand. "—or the plain black?"

Tossing his head to the side, Toshi snarled. "...Maybe you should buy both if you really can't make up your mind."

Isami's lashes fell as he smiled widely. "Both it is, then." He leaned against the counter on his forearm, looking around innocently while Toshi finished scanning all the items.

"That'll be..." He sighed softly. "That'll be $557.92."

"Put it on the card," Isami said, sliding it across the surface.

The transaction was completed and Toshi handed a fancy onyx bag over. "Have a nice day," he grated.

"I'm planning on making it a nice night, actually," Isami replied, winking with a soft grin and then taking his leave.

"I'd kill to be that guy's boyfriend," said the cashier next to Toshi, while scanning items—and Toshi's face turned so fast he might've gotten whiplash. "You should've been more friendly to him, dude. Are you stupid?"

Ignoring the next customer in line, Toshi found it favorable instead to bark, "I am his boyfriend!"
